Topic: PURPOSE

Date: 3rd of December, 2021

Good evening.

Thank you Anthony and Everyone else

Let’s get straight to business.

I will be typing because I want all my teachings to be readable to reference sake.

Kindly join me from here now.

Tonight we will be talking about Purpose

Jesus created every single man on earth for a purpose. That you don’t know it doesn’t mean there is no
purpose

I trust the Spirit to help you discover yours through tonight’s class if you have not, and to give you
deeper insight if you have discovered yours..

In the book of Genesis, God said, let Us make man in our image. The Us there was the Trinity, and the
member of the Trinity that carried out the creation of man was Jesus.

Jesus created this universe and everyone in it.

Therefore, every man’s purpose is in Christ, and can only be discovered in Christ.

Please join us where we are..

Some people believe in God, but not in His Son.

They believe God created. Yes, God the Son.

What am saying in essence is that Jesus is the creator and the one that decided the purpose of every
man, and if you are not yet under His government, there is no way you can discover your purpose even
if you believe in God..

If you don’t yet know that it is Jesus that created, we can discuss that outside here as I won’t have time
to call up scriptures at this time...

To help you get it, I will discuss the subject of purpose in 3 stages:

1. The Being Stage

2. The Doing Stage

3. The Having Stage.

Please follow

The reason God created you can be better understood better when discussed that way.

Please note that the three stages I highlighted above can occur concurrently.

For example, you don’t graduate from stage before stage 2.

No. You understand stage 1, and while that is in process, you add stage 2 and then 3.

All will be working concurrently..

The first and major reason God created you is to become like Christ. This is what we call stage 1. The
being stage
God did not create you to do something first. He created you to become something first. And until you
become that thing, everything you are doing for Him is a waste..

Romans 8:28-29 addresses this.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose.

8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that
he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

All things work together for those called according to His purpose. What is that purpose?

You see it in verse 29 – to be conformed to the image of His Son

See, Jesus is our Creator.

When His creation failed, He became our Redeemer to redeem what He created.

When God said to Him after His baptism, this is My Beloved Son, God was saying that this is the standard
of man that was in my mind when We said Let Us make man. This is the type of Man I have been trying
to get. Jesus became the standard Man.

Now, the first assignment of everyman on earth now is become like the Standard Man. To become like
the model.

This is your first business on earth. Until you get fully into it, you have not started anything.

God is not interested in using anyone that is not Christ.

So everyone He created must become like Christ.

God must first get a certain kind of men, before He can talk about what you will do and not do. It is not
about what you can do, it is about who you are.
Are you Adam or Christ? That’s the first question of life.

This is what God meant by hear he Him. He is the model. Until we get Him in every Man, we don’t have
men yet.

This question of who you are is the question of identity.

The first major aspect of purpose is your identity.

Identity. Identity. If your identity is not clear enough to you, you are already off... Satan can deceive you
like Eve and the purposes of God will be lost.

Satan told her that if she eats the fruit, she will become like God. She was already like God but she didn’t
know.

If your identity is not sorted out, you will be turning stone to bread when Satan comes to you.

That’s your first business on earth. The issue of identity.

This is what I have called the being stage

Let’s get to the next one

Number 2.

The Doing Stage.

This aspect of your purpose talks about your assignment.

People are mostly concerned about their assignment first and not their identity.

Assignment is within the context of your identity. Story for another day.

If you want to understand your assignment. Just study the assignment of Jesus.

He said I am the Vine and you are the branches. That means our assignment is the same.
Whatever Jesus came here to do is what I was born to do..

If he is a Vine of orange tree, that means I am a branch of orange tree. Therefore our business is to
produce orange not anything else..

You need to understand that something was happening before we arrived on earth. Something was
going on before man was created.

God is just after one thing - His kingdom. This is why He created man. This is why He redeemed man.
Everything He does is to achieve that one thing.

Once you come on the scene, your assignment becomes your role in that eternal purpose. This is why
you can’t be talking about purpose outside Christ.

You can talk about ambition, zeal, passion etc. Not purpose. Purpose is with the creator. Christ

If what you are doing is not what Christ is doing. You are probably pursuing a dream or an ambition or
something else.

If it is purpose you want to fulfill, you need to come under the government of God and be put properly
in your place by the Creator. You don’t find your place by yourself. You will be put there.

What we are doing is kingdom, not democracy. It is not a government for the people and by the people.
It is a government of God. Simple. Christianity is not about you at all. It is about God and His Kingdom.
Period!

The question now should be what was Jesus doing on earth when He was here?

What is He doing now?

If you have answer to this question, you now know your assignment.
What Jesus is doing now is Priesthood. What He did here before He left was Priesthood.

That means your assignment on earth is Priesthood and Kingship.

If I had time to milk this, I would break it down to your daily activities..

What is my assignment on earth?

Priesthood and Kingship.

Priesthood that will be done long enough to enthrone me, while the priesthood continues.

I hope you can understand this because I can’t go in detail.

The only thing I from 2016 January to 2017 March was prayers, bible study, reading of books, fasting,
listening to messages, evangelism, discipleship etc.

I rejected jobs and people told me that am wasting my time.

You have heard people say, it is not only prayer and church.After that, go and work, get a job. You won’t
marry and eat with prayer.

This advice looks wise abi? You will find out in your experience

Your assignment has nothing to so with your work, but everything to do with your priesthood.

It is about prayer and priesthood alone for a season before you talk about job or anything.

When God sent me out on April 2017, I found out that the capacity I had built in the last year was too
much for my job to swallow me up.

Meanwhile, many of the people that started working almost immediately lost their fire and some have
not even hammered till now.
That one year of priesthood is what has kept me until now.

All these rushing to start working all in the name of purpose without priesthood. You will be lost. Many
of the people you knew that got lost, kept that job or that mountain as purpose. It is not

Your purpose is not to take mountains. The mountains will swallow you.

Your assignment is to operate that priesthood till it becomes stronger that the forces out there. If it
takes 1 year, leave everything and get it right. If it takes 2 years. Pay the price.

Stop hurrying to catch up in life. That’s not why you were created. To catch up.

Let me tell you.

I started in 2017.

I have overtaken everyone I know that started out early according to wise counsel. I am supposed to be
behind to ‘wasting’ more than a year, but am ahead, both financially, spiritually.

Many of my guys that started earning in 2015 self are still struggling.

This is not spite them.

Am only saying the most important thing is priesthood and not getting work on time and all those things
we consider important...

Your assignment is priesthood.

Leave work, leave masters and everything and develop it for a while, then you can start working, doing
masters and all that. The reason is to that every activity you engage after that season will be subject to
your priesthood and not the other way round.

No more people on fire during youth service and campus days and fire is lost after getting job or getting
married etc.

When men begin to embrace and enter their purpose, no activity of life can put off their fire and drive
for God again.
Operation nothing can quench my fire.

My friends that started this job with me no longer has prayer lives and all that. Their walk with God was
mortgaged because of employment.

MAY GOD FORBID!!!!!

Kai.

I would have been like them, but the encounters of 2016 are stronger than the demands from my work
and everything else I have faced.

I cannot just stop. Nothing can stop me. The fire that was ignited in 2016 has burnt down every thing
that contended with my walk with God.

Imagine I have hurried to start business or something that year. I will be like the many Christians that
has been enslaved by the world all in the name of taking the mountains for God .

Let me round up

Stage 3 is the having stage.

This is how it works

Stage 1 and 2 is classified as the general purpose. While stage 3 is specific.

What that means is that 1 and 2 is the same for every believer. While stage 3 is where the difference
begins to show.

This having stage of purpose is what you must now discover.

This aspect of purpose is what we call platform.

When one has understood his assignment, he is put on a platform to operate and exercise that
priesthood...

This is what happened to me in 2017. I was put on a platform.

But like I said early, when this third phase came in view,

I was still conforming to the image of Christ and I was also developing my priesthood.

The 3 has continued till date..

So purpose is classified into two

1. General – Stage 1 and 2.

2. Specific – Stage 3.

You know like in secondary school, everyone is doing the same subjects from class 1 – 3. Then from SS1,
you specialize in science or arts.

That’s how it happens in the Kingdom.

When you become born again and start conforming to the image of Christ.

You also begin to operate your priesthood. After a while, you will begin to notice difference in the
dealings of God from that of your brother.

Just like in JSS you take time to study your interests, the subjects where you are good and all that. To
decide whether you will be in science or arts.

In stage 1 and 2, you will start noticing your ministry office, your ministry gift, your passion, your hunger
for God. Your burden. Etc. All these are pointers to where God wants to plant you specifically.

You will know at this stage whether you were prepared for politics or to pioneer another ministry.
You will begin to understand your calling and start noticing the difference between you and other
Christians.

Through a careful study of these observations and discoveries over a period of time, you will understand
where God is planting you to go and exercise your priesthood. That’s usually where God wants to
enthrone.

That’s where your kingdom assignment will be carried out..

You must take time to discover this.

You don’t select what it will be. You don’t decide what it will be. You don’t copy another man’s own. You
must discover it.

Remember that this stage is only valid for practicing Christians. Redundant Christians cannot discover
purpose. Because it is as you walk with God and He uses that you will make these observations and
discoveries..

There is still a lot to say, but I will stop here

I have another meeting tonight and I am already running late.

Maybe next time we can talk about SHAPE.

The acronym SHAPE will help you understand your specific purpose as you study your walk with God.

I recommend Purpose Driven Life by Warren Buffett.

Good night and God bless you.

I believe you were blessed.

Let me have questions through your coordinators.
